A top legal watchdog is taking the Secret Service to court to find out how a notorious left-wing group was able to disrupt a dinner between President Donald Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance and top Cabinet officials.
The non-profit public interest law firm Judicial Watch announced in a statement it “filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit for U.S. Secret Service communications records related to Code Pink protesters who disrupted a dinner held by President Donald Trump at a restaurant in Washington, DC, on September 9, 2025 (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security (No. 1:25-cv-04408)).”
“The Secret Service has a tarnished record when it comes to protecting President Donald Trump,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “The American people deserve accountability from the agencies that are entrusted with the duty of guarding their president.”
“On the evening of September 9, 2025, during President Trump’s dinner with Vice President J.D. Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and other officials, a group of Code Pink activists began a protest in the restaurant by chanting slogans and waving Palestinian flags,” Judicial Watch reports.
Founded in 2002 to protest the Iraq War under then-President George W. Bush, Code Pink now gets 25% of its funding from co-founder Jodie Evans’ husband Neville Roy Singham, a businessman in Communist China. Evans has stated she considers Communist China to be a model nation.
Judicial Watch reports the suit “was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia after the Secret Service, a component of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, failed to respond to a September 10, 2025, FOIA request…”
That request asked for:
1. All internal emails and text messages among USSS officials in the Presidential Protective Division regarding the presence of Code Pink protestors appearing at Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab restaurant in Washington, D.C. on the evening of September 9, 2025, while President Trump and other administration officials dined there.
2. All emails sent between USSS [U.S. Secret Service] officials and any email account ending in @codepink.org.
Judicial Watch has been actively investigating the Secret Service’s handling of President Trump’s security, noting:
In July 2025, Judicial Watch sued the U.S. Department of Justice for all records regarding Thomas Matthew Crooks, who attempted to assassinate Trump on July 13, 2024, (Judicial Watch Inc. v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:25-cv-02216)).
In March 2025, Judicial Watch sued Homeland Security for records related to security provided for the July 13, 2024, rally in Butler, PA, during which there was an assassination attempt on Trump (Judicial Watch Inc. v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security (No. 1:25-cv-00704)).
In September 2024, following up on reports that the Biden Secret Service denied Trump’s requests for additional Secret Service protection, Judicial Watch filed a FOIA lawsuit for Secret Service and other records regarding potential increased protective services to Trump’s security detail prior to the attempt on his life at his July 13 campaign rally in Butler, PA (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security (No. 1:24-cv-02495)).

This is more than a little disconcerting! When we cannot rely on the Secret Service to keep president Trump safe we must demand immediate action to ferret out those guilty of dereliction of duty or worse, being traitors to our president and our nation. We must now contact our representatives in the House and Senate and demand immediate action to completely and thoroughly resolve this untenable scenario. Our government has almost been changed into a giant coup by Barrack Obama, Joe Biden and their underlings, flunkies and traitors.
